Description

Nicknamed the "Sea Dragon" due to the mythical beast adorning the black ceramic bottle and box, this 30-year-old Bowmore appeared in the mid-1990s and has achieved near-legendary status since production of it ceased. The contents of this decanter are almost entirely made up from long-matured casks from the iconic 1960s Bowmore vintages. It is a magnificent dram, bursting with rich tropical flavours.
